KAIRO is an intelligent deployment and orchestration platform designed for operators who manage real servers—not toy sandboxes. You connect SSH credentials or install the kairo-agent on your hosts, then use natural-language chat with TESS (KAIRO's AI assistant) to analyse infrastructure, deploy Git repositories, run containers, troubleshoot failures, and keep systems healthy.
Who KAIRO is for
- DevOps engineers and SREs who want faster deploy cycles without sacrificing safety
- Founders and small teams running production on VPS, bare metal, or private cloud
- Operators who prefer conversational workflows over memorising CLI flags
- Teams that need per-server context, encrypted credentials, and audit-friendly deployment logs
Core capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Per-server chat | Each server has its own TESS thread with isolated context and credentials. |
| SSH & agent transport | Connect via traditional SSH or outbound-only kairo-agent WebSocket. |
| GitHub deploy | Clone, configure deploy keys, auto-redeploy on git push. |
| Live command output | Remote commands stream stdout/stderr inside the chat bubble. |
| Token billing | Subscription plans with monthly token quotas and optional top-ups. |
